"We have tried takeout several times from Taste of Beijing. We’ve appreciated their direct online ordering through their website, which doesn’t include any upcharges like ordering through GrubHub or similar sites often does. For Covid precautions, they have plastic sheeting dividing the counter from the rest of the restaurant, and handle food and payment through slits in the plastic. They have signs up encouraging wearing masks as well (though the staff haven’t always been wearing them). The food itself is fairly good. One favorite is chicken and rice soup for two. It's chicken and rice in broth, simple, but you get a whole pint for under $6 and comes with tasty wontons as well. You can make it a meal and it's a great value. The Peking duck rolls are good: shredded Peking duck and lettuce in rolled flour tortillas with plum dipping sauce. A nice snack, not quite worth $6.50, but nice if you want a bit of Peking duck without the full production. The steamed pork dumplings were fairly good and standard, with the right proportion of meat and dough, and the usual soy sauce dip. Shanghai noodles provided a good showing. They were very flavorful and not too greasy. These were more spicy than most places we've tried, just shy of being too hot for Mr. Cuddles. We’ve tried the triple delight and sesame chicken. Both were tasty and about as expected. The sesame chicken had a good proportion of broccoli to chicken. This is a reasonably priced Chinese restaurant and we’ll likely be back again many more times. Give them a try!"

"Upon entering, we were warmly welcomed by our attentive server. We chose a table and began to explore the extensive menu before us. After a long week at work, my energy was low, so I decided to ask our friendly hostess for a recommendation. She suggested the dishes with garlic sauce, which she loved, and I quickly agreed—after all, you can never go wrong with garlic. The chicken was incredibly tender and cooked just right, while the garlic sauce was nothing short of amazing. It had a perfect balance of sweetness and a mild kick—suitable for almost anyone. Although I initially asked for it to be spicier, the flavor was exceptional, and the sauce had the ideal consistency. I just wish there had been more, as I prefer my food swimming in sauce. To me, everything else is just a vehicle for delivering that delicious sauce. But it didn't stop there. Our hostess also recommended the Szechuan dishes, and again, the chicken was perfectly cooked, while the vegetables struck a wonderful balance between tender and crisp. I personally would have liked a lot more heat, but I have a penchant for spicy food. Speaking of spice, our waitress was delightful and truly knows how to brighten someone's day. So, if you come across this review—whether you live nearby and have yet to give it a chance, you're on the other side of town, or you're just passing through—Weng's Garden is definitely worth a visit. And remember, folks, you can never go wrong with garlic!"
